If I buy digital content... You can do all that when you buy digital content. The problem is that most stores aren't selling you the content - they're selling you a non-perpetual license to access the content while it's available from the store you bought it from. That's what needs to change. People need to actually buy the content and not rent it.

This is actually the sort of thing that a properly-functioning consumer defense bureau would go after.
